Negotiations regarding a controversial cross city switch from Juventus to Torino for Michele Pazienza are continuing.

Negotiations regarding a controversial cross city switch from Juventus to Torino for Michele Pazienza are continuing.

The combative Pazienza first arrived in Turin last summer, but was given little game time by Bianconeri boss Antonio Conte and spent the second half of the season on loan at Udinese.

Juve are now willing to let the former Fiorentina and Napoli man leave, and have entered into talks with arch rivals Torino, who are aiming to strengthen their midfield after winning promotion to the top flight.

However, no agreement has been found as yet. Sky Sport Italia are claiming that the Granata are holding out for a free loan, a proposition which has not left La Vecchia Signora enthused.
